Smart, funny, and...dull.

Around the turn of the century, social order collapsed and the corporate-allied government fled to Mars, from which it continued to rule a chaotic, unstable Earth. Reuben Flagg is a star TV hero-cop who gets replaced with a hologram and drafted into Earth's police force, the Plex Rangers.
American Flagg is smart, sharp. The TV ad and newscast satire pack some bite. Reminded me of Robocop.
There's not much of a central conflict, Flagg's change of career is just an excuse to explore this cynical dystopian future and have some fun.
Much as I respected American Flagg, I found myself bored with it. Not sure why.
